Lately I have been listening to The Dummy Room podcast and learning about a lot of new bands. You should check it out.
Two bands I first heard on that podcast are Horror Section and The Jetty Boys and they are pretty awesome.
My playlist lately has been dominated by The Riverdales album "Tarantula." It's so good I listen to it pretty much every day. I've also been listening to tons of Lillingtons and Teenage Bottlerocket.

Here's a list of pop punk bands that used to be good:
The Story So Far (I never finished their latest record, it is that bad)
Paramore (disgusting. Someone mentioned Yours Truly who is taking up that oldschool Paramore torch, at least)
State Champs (expect punk to disappear from their sound entirely, as it did for part of Living Proof)
Yellowcard (RIP)
Man Overboard (RIP...?)

These guys are always great to listen to. One of my favorite pop punk ep's. Free download too.

If you were ever into Rancid, then The Interrupters are going to bring back some of that nostalgia while still being new. She sings like Tim and he produces their albums.
They are also opening the NA leg of the Hella Mega tour.
The one that reminds me most of Rancid
and a Billie Eilish cover.

well I guess it makes sense that Normie kids saw Blink as some big new thing. I really don’t want to sound like a dick. If you grow up in like Louisiana somewhere with no local DIY scene, it’s awesome that the mainstream ever gave you a chance to find some cool bands, at least for a while before they moved on to some other hot genre.
I admit I was just really lucky to grow up in Chicago and see so many great bands like Screeching Weasel, Naked Raygun, Bollweevils, etc.
But yeah, when I look and listen to this thread, this stuff seems so packaged and fashionable.

Chicago seemed to have a ton of shit. I found a lot of obscure pop punk bands on this page a while back. Like lots of super rare shit most people haven't heard of.
DuPage County Hardcore
This archive preserves and makes freely available the wealth of punk, metal and hip-hop related music released in the Chicago area from the '70s through the '10s. It started with my old bands and my friends' old bands, but now incorporates bands from the "greater Chicagoland area," as it's...

Holy Shit dude, that is like a walk down memory lane for me. I'm gonna have to use that to reassemble a collection of that stuff.
My best friend was the bassist for Friction. I remember when they were forming the band, he asked me if I would be interested in being the lead singer. I was like "Dude, what makes you think I can sing?" He said, "I have no idea, but I know you have a van." Punk Rock.
Sleepy Bear went to my high school. I remember them playing at my school's Battle of the Bands, everybody hated them but around 15 of us. Some rapper kid won it.
Sorry I'm turning this thread into my own old guy "I was there" ramblings.
As for what a lot of you in this thread might like from that page, I would say Apocalypse Hoboken and The Fighters. Landos 45 too, even though there is just a 4 song 7-inch on there. Landos was a short lived project by the lead singer of the Bollweevils. Kinda interesting, that black guy with the big dreads singing is a physician now.

My man. I still think Tragedy and You're Not You Anymore are the better albums, but Nothing Left is still solid. Band is consistent and (so far) not jumping on the whole "let's totally change our sound" wagon.

I still listen to them all the time. Same goes for Senses Fail, Saosin, Four Year Strong. I could keep going. A lot of that music just doesn't really exist anymore.

Haha they were so good, I had to search ebay for this shit. I used to wear their old logo shirt all the time in high school when I had blue hair and thought i was edgy.
They actually just reformed with all of the original members or the ones that aren't in jail. and put out a new single... but it does not sound like old Mest so be warned
*Edit I stand corrected...they are all out of jail...it is 100% the original lineup

I haven't listened to anything new in a while sadly.
Almost all of the Zebrahead albums have been good though, check them out if you can.
